Yesterday the neurologist informed me that the CT scan last week showed that Rand’s left carotid artery is completely blocked – not even a trickle of blood is getting through to the brain on that side. Consequently, vascular surgery to clear out that artery is not feasible. In two weeks I will meet with the doctor and find out the implications and options for Rand as a result of that test. I will post a summary of that meeting on this blog. I am not going to discuss the results of the scan with Rand as he has already forgotten about it.
This afternoon we are off to adapted bowling and life goes on.
Keep Rand close.
Love,
Connie

hi Connie...
My name is Jennifer Bell, and Mr. Elness was my history teacher at R.J. Fisher Junior High in the early 80's. I was on Facebook a few days ago, and people were discussing their favorite teachers at R.J. Fisher Junior High School and Mr. Elness' name came up. Of course, I remember him to this very day. Thanks to Google, I happened across your blog. I'm so sorry to hear of his stroke. It looks like he has made a lot of progress over the last few years.
Anyways, I wanted to let you know that I will keep Mr. Elness in my good thoughts and prayers. If you could please let him know that after almost 30 years, people still remember what an amazing teacher he was way back when. I have to say that with him moving forward with his life...and coping daily with the effects of his stroke...he's still teaching all of us how to keep going.
All the best to you and yours,
Jennifer Bell
Class of '84 R.J. Fisher Junior High School
